Montserrat is so amazing! When we were there last month, the only cat we saw was hanging out by the cheese vendors! 🐱

That's near where the one was. I hung out there myself, tasting the same cheeses over and over. We did eventually buy one.

Well, we also have horses, donkeys, goats, dogs, chickens, and lots of cats, but I wasn't sure if all that would fit in the title?

Only if there was a word for all those creatures...oh, yeah!  ANIMALS!!

Today is the big day, I suppose. I wasn't interested in an early check in time and dealing with that mob scene. Check out at the hotel isn't until noon. I picked a 10:30-11 slot (I think) but our ride is reserved for 11:30am. I think this is my 75th Carnival cruise, and some of the novelty has worn off. So a nice lazy morning.

Yesterday was a long sleep deprived hangover day and then the 8+ hour Montserrat/Cava excursion, so after a cocktail or two, headed out to fetch some supper. Went a couple of doors down from Hotel Gaudi to

I ordered a few items for a room picnic. The bar tender seriously overpoured my drink there, but who's complaining? I guess I ordered enough food to justify it.

 

The pics aren't the best - the food deserved better.

 

I started with some

 

Pan con tomate

Bread with tomato / Pá amb tomàquet

 

 

Some Iberian Ham (wasn't expecting it to be sealed, but that was perfect so I can keep for a snack later)

 

 

Padron Peppers

 

 

Grilled Entrecote

 

and Chocolate Cake

Then it was time to pass out.

I think the Emeril cooking demonstration cost a minimum of a $200 donation. I decided that was a hard pass for me.

My husband was walking by when I was looking at this pic. We aren't scheduled until November. It's going to be "are we there yet?" for the next 6 months.

They are small. He might want to order more than one.

Need to keep a card, any card that fits, in the thing by the door to keep the lights on.
